Medicine: Dr. Osteopath, M.D.

Since osteopathy was founded by an M.D. named Andrew T. Still in 1874,
it has steadily moved away from Still's reliance on the manipulation of
bones, muscles and ligaments as a cure for all manner of aches and
agues. The Lightning Bone Setter, as Still was known, thought that "the
human engine is God's medical drugstore," but the average osteopath
today prescribes more drugs for his patient than the average M.D. and
uses musculoskeletal therapy as only an adjunct to surgery, X rays,
serums.
